but what about tough concepts. where do most of you guys get the hands on experience for say a hydraulic brake job? or adjusting bluetooth shifters?
it would be nice if those grey beards were around more often for us younger guys learning deep in our passions.
Actually bleeding a hydro brake wasn't so bad, granted I had watched other people do it before but I did watch Park Tool's video when I had to do it myself. Being that I didn't have any hydro bikes till now I never really needed the skill. For eTap probably I don't know it is that hard. It is actually kind of less mechanic stuff and more computer stuff. Though a lot is still adjusting high and low limits which is kinda the exact same for a cable actuated derailleur.
